Peggy Hill: the Decline and Fall (2) - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: In one scene Hank is helping Peggy scratch one of her arms that is in a cast with some normal straws joined together. At first he is holding the last and first straws and there is only a few straws. The next shot he is holding the straws with one hand about halfway down (2-3 straws down) and there are more straws then there was before. After this shot the straws revert back to how it looked originally.

Peggy Hill: the Decline and Fall (2) - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: Before Hank starts arguing with Cotton near the end of the episode, Cotton has a can of beer in his hand. When Cotton is being held by Hank and swinging his arms at Hank the can of beer has disappeared. There was no moment where we can hear him drop the can, and as he pushes Hank we never see him drop it.

Bills are Made to be Broken - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: Whilst Bill is practising football in Hank's yard there is an aerial shot that shows Bobby & Hank walking towards Dale & Boomhauer and are close to them. In the following shot they are quite a bit further away from their previous position. Also the position of Dale & Boomhauer next to the garage changes between shots.

Little Horrors of Shop - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: When Dale & Hank are taking a spa in the house Dale is fumigating, Dale gets out of the spa. We see Hank has a headrest behind his head that is pink. The next shot is a close up of Hank's face and the headrest is now a light brown.

Little Horrors of Shop - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: Later in the episode, the students go over to Hank's garage to finish some of their class projects and gather around the workbench about halfway through the scene. Between shots some of the kids change positions including Joseph and one of the kids in a pink shirt.

Little Horrors of Shop - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: After Hank has been made to take forced leave from work, there is a shot of the house and the background you can tell by the color the sun is rising. In the next shot when Peggy is pretending to conduct in the kitchen with the kitchen utensil you can see a blue sky outside the kitchen window. There is no way the sun rose that quickly in the space of a second.

Little Horrors of Shop - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: During the scene where Peggy is taping a photo of Hank to the blackboard to discuss about the substitute teacher of the year. When she tapes it up you can see it's near the top of the board near the writing accompanying it. After a shot of the students the photo has moved down quite a bit along with the writing that was there.

Aisle 8A - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: When Hank takes Connie to the doctors, he is in the waiting room. After Connie and the doctor come out they open the two doors and stand in front of the doors. Towards the end of the scene as the doctor is about to leave them, they have all moved far a short distance from the left of the doors.

Aisle 8A - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: There is a scene when Hank & Peggy are talking in the garage. Next to Peggy there is a belt sander or something similar to a belt sander. In shots of Peggy from over Hank's shoulder, it disappears.

Aisle 8A - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: After Connie tells Hank she is experiencing her first period, Hank consults the book that Connie's parents left for Hank. There is a close up of the folder from Hank's point of view and you see there are not many pages on each side. You can tell this as you can see the binder's covers below the papers on each side and there is not much material on either side. The next shot that shows Hank skimming through the papers each side of the folder has a lot more papers on each side than the previous shot.

A Beer Can Named Desire - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: Toward the end of the episode Don Meredith takes Hank to the Superdome to try throwing the football into the Alamo beer can. After Hank makes the throw they walk to the football rack and Don picks up one of the footballs from the rack. We can see the top shelf has two footballs with the laces on the ball not visible. As they leave we can see on the same angle, there are three balls on the top shelf with the laces visible on all three balls.

Hank: Calm down, Boomhauer! I can't understand a word you're saying.

Show generally

Question: How can Dale be so oblivious to the fact that Joseph isn't his biological son or that Nancy cheated on him with John Redcorn considering in one episode Dale actually caught them both in bed together.

Answer: In addition to Brian Katcher's response: it's supposed to be a joke that Dale is always suspicious about conspiracy theories, mysteries, etc, but he is "clueless" about his own wife having an affair. Of course, as Brian wrote, many fans think that Dale is pretending to be clueless because he doesn't want Nancy to leave him.

Answer: That's the shtick. Everyone in town knows that Dale's wife is seeing John behind his back and that Joseph is obviously really John's son, but Dale is completely oblivious (he's not that smart of a man). In one episode, Dale even says he's not homophobic because 'John Redcorn is gay, and he's one of my closest friends.' Of course there is a fan theory that Dale is completely aware of what's going on but chooses to ignore it out of fear of his marriage ending.

Brian Katcher

Also, if Dale *does* know about the affair, what choice does he have anyway? Explain to everyone he meets that Nancy is his wife, and Joseph is her son from her boyfriend? If he wants to stay with Nancy, then raising Joseph as his own child is slightly less awkward. Especially while Joseph is younger. I know of one man who did this. It was obvious that his wife had an affair, and "his" younger daughter had been fathered by someone of a different race. An "elephant in the room" situation.
